l82 THE CULTIVATION OF THE 



Question ir. I believe in yellows. When we see 

 it, we cut tree down and burn it. 



Question 12. Natural seed is best. 



Question 13. Yes. If frost only leaves a few, the 

 curculio sometimes takes them all. 



Question 14. I think curled leaf with us, in the 

 spring, often occurs from frost. 



Question 15. The best way is for growers to do all 

 in their power to induce buyers to come to their stations 

 and sell to them, in peach baskets, being careful only to 

 offer good fruit. Poor fruit should be given to hogs if 

 not able to dry it. If western buyers continue to come 

 here a year or two longer, Philadelphia and New York 

 commission merchants will be compelled to come also, or 

 do without peaches.
